Someone very close to Putin once explained to me that Putin thinks that all Westerners can be bought. We have no values; only a price. Dmitriev's prominent role in drafting the latest "peace plan" underscores that Putin assessment. I hope Putin is wrong. I fear for some, he might be right.

Hangman's 2nd reign was very successful in establishing him as a top AEW star. Full Gear ended with Page and Swerve shoulder to shoulder staring down The Opps. It'll be one of, if not the, top storyline.
